Friendly, fun...and very competitive

Bartley has great facilities on and off the water. Our purpose-built club house is equipped with showers, lockers and changing facilities and there is plenty of parking on site and a secure boat park for members.

After a hard day on the water, Eileen's Galley serves a range of hot and cold food, snacks and drinks and there is a fully-licenced bar at which you will find Bartley's members discussing the cut and thrust of the day's racing!

Bartley welcomes experienced, competitive sailors; families looking for a shared hobby; complete beginners and everyone in-between. To make sure everyone feels welcome we have a wide range of events, from competitive open meetings on the class circuits to Family Fun afternoons on certain Sundays in the summer months. These afternoons are very popular, providing an excellent means for youngsters and parents to have fun together and develop their sailing skills.

And at the end of the year there is always the legendary Bartley Burnout - all comers, all classes - all together a cracking day's racing!
